Calcium-dependent transient potassium outward current in the marine ciliate Euplotes vannus

In the marine hypotrichous ciliate Euplotes vannus, the transient K+ outward current, IK fast, was studied by use of a single-microelectrode voltage-clamp equipment. Activation and inactivation kinetics, and steady-state inactivation are comparable to the properties of A-currents. Not typical for this type of current is its insensitivity to either 4-AP or 3,4-AP and its Ca2+ dependence which was derived from its inhibition by either extracellular Cd2+, La3+, D-600, or by intracellular BAPTA. Actual amplitudes of IK fast were obtained from a composite current, by subtraction of early parts of a slowly activating K+ current, IK slow, and of the early, transient Ca2+ inward current, ICa fast, that is typical for ciliates. IK fast counteracts ICa fast during the first milliseconds after onset of depolarization such that the composite current is purely outward directed.     

尊重斯德哥尔摩的历史中心—骑士岛的激活改造

瑞典国家财产委员会拥有骑士岛的所有权与管理权，并计划对该岛上所有的公共空间进行更新和开发，以提高其可达性与吸引力。该项目的核心是找到一种更新和修复岛屿的方法，从而在尊重历史价值的同时满足现代功能需求。对骑士岛南部的改造是岛上公共空间更新的第一部分。设计的关键条件是沿滨水区域创造可以供人步行与停坐的大面积空间，并在保持开放海港氛围的同时，对旧的道路铺装进行管理。设计者设计了一套灵活使用公共空间的综合解决方案，将开放空间与之前的码头一样，沿着水滨的形态进行布局。     

The 66 kDa component of eukaryotic initiation factor 3 interacts with globin mRNA and 18 S rRNA in preinitiation complexes

The 66 kDa protein present in a complex with globin mRNA and 18 S rRNA [(1984) Eur. J. Biochem. 143, 27-33] has been reincorporated into functional eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) under conditions of protein synthesis. Additionally, two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis has been used to demonstrate the identity of the 66 kDa protein with the 66 kDa subunit of eIF-3.
